Warhammer Online has released their May Community Update. Patch 1.4.3 is still slated to go live in June and in the mean time the team is discussing the Sigmar Tide Event which will come with it. Since the event is not hitting the PTS the team is giving some more clues on what to expect.

With Memorial Day right around the corner, Warhammer Online is also currently running 50% bonus on RP and XP now through Tuesday, May 31.

Check out the full Community Update on the Warhammer official site.

The Warhammer Online team just announced that players on Athel Loren have the option to choose free transfers of their characters and guilds to Badlands or Karak Norn. Here are the details:

"To facilitate this we have enabled the multi-realm ability for Badlands and Karak Norn.  This allows accounts to have both Order and Destruction characters on the server and increases the character limit to 20.  There will be an 8 hour lockout when switching realms on the server.

Please welcome your new comrades-in-arms (or enemies) and help them to settle in."

Mythic Entertainment has released the Warhammer Online April Community Update. April has been all about patch 1.4.2 which was just released. The team is getting plenty of positive feedback on the patch, but one of the more controversial issues has been the armor set changes, which was one of the focal points of the patch.

The team is looking toward the future saying, "We are planning to launch version 1.4.3 in late June. We will talk about the exact highlights as the patch date approaches, but the upcoming 'Sigmar Tide' event will be an important part of that release." The Simgar Tide event is to celebrate the day Sigmar became a god. The above image is a sneak peak of something new for this live event...

Today marks the launch of Warhammer Online version 1.4.2, which focuses on Tier 4. Here are the highlights:

• Power Changes: The highlight of this patch is a continuing focus on the Tier 4 experience in terms of power levels and power gaps. The team has made some changes to the mechanics and items that are available within this Tier.
• Scenario Shakeup: The lineup of the Scenarios has once again shifted.  A number of old scenarios are making their return, some are retiring for the moment, and others are shifting tiers.
• New Pets: New vanity pets have shown up in the capital cities. Some of them are just companions to follow you around between battles, while others are scrounging pets that will add 5% to the gold looted with them active.

It's a fairly short Producer's Letter this month from James Casey, but that doesn't stop it from being packed full of information! In his latest Producer's Letter, James encourages players to head to the Warhammer Online forums to generate some more discussion in the developer's corner. He notes that the team is trying to get more feedback and discussion generated around some WAR mechanics, so it might be worth to go voice your opinion. In other news, James also touches very briefly on some upcoming development plans going into the future, most notably being an interesting "advanced crafting" system and some new updates with the Verminous Horde. Best of luck, Warhammer Online!

Warhammer Online patch 1.4.1 is scheduled to hit the live servers today. Here are the highlights:

• Claim window: Items associated with account entitlements will no longer be sent through in-game mail. Instead, all of the items will be accessible through a new Claim Window interface.
• Armor Set Changes: The Renown Rank and level requirements for several item sets have been reduced to allow players to use them sooner in their careers. With the new ranks for the above sets, a new armor set has been added to fill in the gap between Warlord and Sovereign.
• Scenario Shakeup: A number of old scenarios are making their return, some are retiring for the moment, and others are shifting tiers.

All North American and European servers are currently offline to implement the patch. The servers should be back up by 1 p.m. EST.
